ABS controller fuse - where?

DeanH · Mar 3rd, 2024, 18:00

Can anyone shed any light on where this is?

I've removed the panel under the steering wheel but it's not there near the bonnet pull.

It's a RHD car, 940 d24t estate.

The fuses are all in the centre console behind the ash tray and there is another fuse on the ABS block itself under the black cover that says ABS on it.

What's wrong with your car?

Thanks for the speedy response.

The car failed it's MOT on a lack of ABS bulb on the dash. I've put a bulb in and it's on permanently, don't even need to move the car for it to come on. Have read online that these fuses are prone to issues so I thought it would be something simple to check.

I'm talking about this fuse

More than likely a knackered front wheel sensor. ABS light is on all the time if that is the case. Bulb has been removed to get through the MOT.

What's the process for testing those? I've seen things online saying take a resistance reading and it should be between 600 & 1500 ohms? I tried that on all three sensors and didn't get a reading at all. That's what made me think it might be something central like a fuse.

I have the same car as you for 23 years now I had to replace 1 front ABS sensor not a bad job really .I found my problem with the fault finder under the bonnet on right hand pillar .I would get a new one of ebay about £25 Lexmark brand then disconnect each one in turn and try the new one the ABS which is broke will tell you . I can guide you further on this issue .my email is jimliddy1@gmail.com. then possibly talk things through plus a few other tips on these engines .
Regards jim

You need a specfic code reader if your car is 96 onwards ( vould be late 95 as well ) Or as Jim as stated the code box near the front strut under the bonnet

I don't think my car has the diagnostic port on the turret. Would it have an OBD2 port instead?

What year is it ?

If it's a 95 onwards the not quite OBD2 port is in the centre console. You will need a homemade reader to get the codes though

Am I wrong In thinking just get another ABS sensor try it on both front plugs that will tell you which one is faulty mine did that for me no problems for 2 years now don't waste money on expenses brands only my thoughts
